He lowers his head but not his gaze when he passes her in the corridors during their sweeps. The corners of his mouth twitch upward just enough to suggest a smile. // oh no oh no this is everything to me
She hears him take a deep breath in behind her before she feels the hand that comes to rest lightly on the middle of her back. // this slow build, cautious start of their relationship... I- the way he approaches her so carefully and so patiently and so softly
“Do you want me to go?”
She shakes her head. “Please, don’t.” // ohmygjskfkakakalaala
How sickeningly domestic. Except, of course, that she isn’t sickened by it. // I love the way you write her inner thoughts so much. The conflict but also the gradual shift
“You rescue rebellious women, you dance,” she says, holding back a laugh. “Is there anything you don’t do?”
“Sing,” he replies, grinning. “Though I’d try, if it made you smile like you’re smiling now.” // I CAN HEAR THIS SO PERFECTLY SHRIEKING
“Whatever you need,” he vows, “you can take it. You can take it from me.” // this + that kiss was so perfect
NOOOOOOO I was literally just thinking to myself earlier, unprompted: hmmm Kleya and Melshi. Because the way he was carrying her and taking care of her and holding her the whole way back??? It's much to think about. Then I remembered he's literally going to DIE in like a DAY! So I was like ohhhh I hate it here. *Begins to move on with my life.*
Then I'm scrolling tumblr and just so happen to see this.
Idk if they're going to stick in my brain but for the time being this fic has created a monster. Because he's so sweet and she's so just *not used* to getting to be a person who doesn't live on the edge and for the rebellion.
Why am I rambling so much lol. Point being: your writing is really gorgeous and you made their relationship so beautiful. I THINK I MAY LOVE THEM?!?!?
